what is columns.title similar initialization option for footer

Junw

based on this
title
Setting a text to the 'title' attribute in the column option will change the header TH of the table.

Is there a option to set the footer?
In my datatable, the header column title is change but not the footer and it became inconsistent

Sorry there currently isn't one. The only way to have a footer element created is to have it in the DOM when the DataTable is initialised.

This is something that does come up fairly regularly, so it is something I will look into in future.

ok, thanks,
i'll just modify the footer element after datatable initialized

I'd recommend doing it before the table is initialised if you can. Otherwise DataTables won't know that there is a footer and any changes in column visibility, etc, wouldn't be reflected in the footer.

@allen As this comes up quite regularly here, is there some kind of goto-solution or best practice example that one could easily c&p?

$('#myTable').append(
  '<tfoot>'+
    '<tr>'+
       '<th>...</th>'+
       '<th>...</th>'+
       '<th>...</th>'+
       ...
    '<tr>'+
  '</tfoot>'
);

$('#myTable').DataTable();
